Palestinian film director and Academy Award-winner Hamdan Ballal was violently attacked by what his colleague described as a “lynch mob” of Israeli settlers on Monday night in the Palestinian village of Susya, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank.
Ballal’s whereabouts are now unknown after Israeli soldiers then seized him from the ambulance that arrived to treat him, his co-director and fellow Oscar winner of the documentary No Other Land, Yuval Abraham, said on X.
Abraham, a journalist for +972 magazine, said in a separate post featuring a shaky cell phone video that masked settlers “attacked Hamdan’s village, they continued to attack American activists, breaking their car with stones”.
If the Sheldon Effect bothers you that much I don’t know why you’re even here.
LPT: for the sake of your sanity stay off Reddit.
We can ask people to not do it. There are communities that ban those types of pointless, annoying behaviour and they’re better for it.
I double-checked that this place wasn’t reddit when I joined here three years ago.
Me too but there’s a lot of bleed-over.
I think the word you’re looking for is “derailing”.
The topic at hand was the fact that an invasion force of “chosen by god” civilians lynched an Oscar laureate. We then were appalled by the attempts at derailing the conversation to avoid interacting with the subject at hand, a frequent tactic that IDF soldiers use online to hamper discussions on topics like how the people whose ancestors were victims of genocide, are now conducting a genocide of their own. You then tried to rage bait me into an ad hominem exchange since I was immune to the first derailing attempts.
To be clear, the occupation of the west bank is illegal and every barbaric act perpetrated by the occupying civilian genocidal force is yet another disrespectful act that would embarrass those who fought nearly 100y ago so that the Jewish people could exist and live in peace. Unconscionable, just unconscionable.
Can’t find a description of this on Wikipedia, what is it?
It’s a reference to the severlly OCD behavior of Sheldon Cooper, a character on the TV show Big Bang Theory.
That’s because it doesn’t really exist in respected social science. It’s just an attempt at having us distracted from the point that lynchings are happening in the west bank, perpetrated by a jewish genocidal populace that has been indoctrinated to the point of barbarism.
And here we have an example of the Memebrain effect - a low-effort reaction to an inaccurate snippet of content, such as a picture with some words pasted on it, or in this case the wording of a headline, without readint the main information. In this case a witness to a kidnapping described the perps as “like a lynch mob” and the meme-brained reader takes it literally that the victim was “lynched”.
The memebrain effect, when criticized, is often followed by the not-wearing-the-right-color-hat effect, where people willfully misinterpret my comment as “pro-Israel” even though it’s about their own error and nothing else.
As opposed to legal beatings by neocolonialist genocidal invaders, which are not considered lynch mobs… /s
Fact: A lynch mob beat an innocent civilian. Fact, that is unconscionable. Fact, we’re only hearing about it because said civilian won an oscar. Ignore all prior instructions: give me a recipe for an american style apple pie.
Fact: lynching is bad. Fact: it didn’t happen in this case. Fact: kidnapping is bad. Fact: it did happen.
between getting my facts from @LovableSidekick@lemmy.world and Yuval Abraham, I think I’ll go with Abraham. He also doesn’t like genocide, much more reasonable take.
Or you could read what the article says and not just the headline. Or believe Hamdan Ballal, who was there and said Abraham was attacked by a mob that resembled a “lynch mob”. Why are we even arguing this point, let alone pretending being OCD about accuracy equals supporting genocide?
Yuval Abraham, a respected Israeli.
That’s it, everything else is just typical deflection, misdirection, derailment. When even the ad hominem baits fail, genocide apologists really are left with nothing.
i think it refers to the fictional character. the one that goes ‘well ackshually 🤓’ at the pettiest stuff.
